Reformation: Receiving Promises

Welcome back to today's episode of The Gathering Tabernacle podcast! On today's episode we have Pastor Dan teaching what is means to be a house of prayer. Hoping that there is some more revelation about what it means to continuously dedicate your life to the Lord. You must be willing to humble yourself to receive the Lord's promises. Do you ever feel like the Lord doesn't hear you? Do you feel like you're distant from the Lord? He has not left you! Take a listen to give some clarity as to why you believe the Lord is not hearing your prayers.

Welcome to the Gathering Tabernacle Podcast. We're located in Rocky Cumber, Missouri. Our mission at TGT is to host the presence of the Lord, to see his glory fall like fire and free those who are bonded. He came to set the captives free. On the podcast, we share our live sermons from late pastors and street, teachings from special guests, and personal testimonies. Thank you for joining us today. If you would like to contact us, you can find us on Facebook or online at www.thegatheringtaberacle.com. Let's jump into today's episode.

SPEAKER_02 0:46

It's not about being right, it's about being free. Freedom in the name of Jesus. Whatever it takes. I like what Pastor Chris said. He said Legion carried all those demons down that hill to get to Jesus. Which tells me there's not one thing that can keep you bound unless you choose. There's always a way, and his name is Jesus. And he's always delivering, he's always healing, and he's always setting free. He's never changed. He's alive and seated at the right hand of the Father. He will not forsake you. He will not leave you. He is King of kings, Lord of Lords. He's holy, he's righteous, and he's worthy of all praise every second of every day. If you choose. The greatest gift God gave us is to let us see if we love him. It's a free choice. He could have made you robots, but what life is that? It's not love if you can't choose it. When you choose your spouse, I assume you choose them because you love them. Today we have choices to make. Because today is a new day. Salvation is continuing abiding and remaining in him. Each day I get up and I ask the Lord, is there something in me that keeps me from being free for you? Because it's no longer about us. Is there something that I need to give you that will change your kingdom come this day for someone else? Because if there is, I need to get it, to give it. So are we willing to have our hearts purged? Are we willing to be able to be accepted to what He wants for us? Because He wants us free so others can see what Jesus looks like. Because when I'm bound in hate, anger, lust, greed, not believing the word, unbelief, then those around me see the image of Christ tainted. So today is a day that when I prayed this morning, I said, Lord, soften my heart and make it open to anything that's not of you, so I can be free for you. And I prayed the same thing for each and one of you. And I told Dan, today is a day of mass deliverance. Because that's the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and He needs each and every one of us in the kingdom to be bright light in this darkness because we are walking in darkness. So today's the day, right? Whatever it is, Lord, take it out because I give it to you so you can have be Lord of Lords, King of Kings, and you may receive all the glory. Father, we praise your holy name, Lord. We get excited because your word is true and it has not changed, Lord. We thank you as we get ready to worship you as we come in, knowing what we've been delivered from. Most of all, just know you've been delivered from hell. That's enough. He didn't have to give us anything else. But he gives us his grace, he gives us his mercy and all his freedom and his inheritance of what he did. So let's celebrate Jesus Christ as King. Amen.

SPEAKER_08 3:42

Stay in the moment of worship. Stay there. We don't need you don't need music to worship him. Worship him. Those that worship him, worship him in spirit and in truth. Father, we praise you. Father, we honor you. Father, we worship you. Lord, Lord, you're holy. Lord, your righteous. Lord, you're good, Lord. Lord. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Obedience is better than sacrifice. As you lay yourself out there for it, as you present yourselves a living sacrifice, which is your reasonable service. No, Lord, we will not. We will not be conformed to this world, but we're being transformed, Lord, by the renewing of our minds, Lord. Father, we praise you. Father, we praise you. Father, you're welcome here, as right here, right now. Lord, as we're praising you, as we're honoring you, as you're worshiping you, people are being healed. People are being set free. People are being delivered. People's eyes are being opened. Thank you, Lord. Praise you, Lord. Praise you, Lord. Lord, you Holy Spirit, you're the teacher. Holy Spirit, you're the guide. God, you come. You are welcome, you, Lord. Lord, it's not about us, Lord. It's about you. I have nothing to add to this. Only what you've done. Only that you've come to heal us, to set us free, to deliver us, to make us whole. Thank you, Lord God. You want us healed more than we want to be healed. You want us delivered more than we want to be delivered. You want us born again more than we want to be born again. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. You want our family free more than we want our families free. Father, you want you want addiction gone more than we want addiction gone. You want cancer gone more than we want cancer gone.

SPEAKER_07 5:48

Thank you, Lord, that you took on flesh and dwelt among us. No greater love than to lay down your life. Praise you, Lord, praise you, Lord.

SPEAKER_08 6:02

Thank you, Lord, praise you, Lord, praise you, Lord, praise you, Lord. He's here. Just reach out and touch him. Reach out and touch him, whatever it is. You know, that woman with the issue of blood thought, you know, if I could just touch him, if I could just touch him, and he's here, but but you have to touch him. He didn't come and touch her. You have to touch him, you have to touch him, you have to reach for him. I'm not gonna live like this any longer. I'm not gonna live in this bondage any longer. I'm gonna touch him, I'm gonna go for him, I'm gonna get healed today, I'm gonna get delivered today, I'm gonna give my life to him today as you go for him. He's there with arms wide open, arms wide open. He's not there judging you because you came back. He's there with arms wide open. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world. He's not a condemning God, he's a loving God, he's a loving father, he has good gifts for you. But that the world might be saved, that they might be born again, healed, set free, and delivered through him. Through him, he is the way, he is the truth, he is the life, he is the door. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord God. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, Lord, your way, Lord. We have no agenda, Lord, your way, your way, Lord, your kingdom come, your will be done, Lord, right here, right here in Rocky Comfort, right here this morning, Lord, as it is in heaven, Lord. Lord, come, Lord, Lord, you're the guide, you're the teacher. Holy Spirit. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Lord. Hallelujah, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, you have good gifts for your children. Thank you, Lord, you're a good father. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, for right here, right now. And I know you don't want us to leave right here, right now. Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.

SPEAKER_05 9:01

Oh, my God.

SPEAKER_03 9:12

I cannot have my children don't have. Do you not know that God delivers? Do you not know that the God that freaking is the reality? I'm a God for salvation. I'm a God. Put down your heart and go that I am. I am the true God. Come forth and take part in what I free to offer.

SPEAKER_08 9:58

We thank you, Lord, for the gifts. We thank you, Lord, for the gifts of tongues and interpretation. We thank you, Lord. We thank you, Lord, for the gifts of knowledge, the gifts of wisdom. The gifts of healing, working in miracles. Discernment, gifts of prophecy. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Was that word for you? Was that word for you? Is he calling you today? You know, we really do serve a living, risen Savior. We don't serve a dead God like some of the other gods that people worship, the sun god, the moon god, you know, different guess the sun's alive, but but different deals. But Mohammed, Buddha, we serve a risen God. We serve a risen Savior that comes so you could have life and have life more abundantly. And and and this walk with Christ, it really is something you do. It's not just some mystical prayer that you pray and and and and live your life. No, it is a commitment to following Christ. It is turning from your ways and trusting in his ways. It's turning from not trusting in him and not trusting him. I mean, you're you're living in a life of sin. You're living in a life of hate, you're living in a life of anger, you're living in a life of lust and adultery in different ways. And he come to set you free of that. See, there's no condemnation in it. You know, condemnation tells you you need to quit doing this and you need to start doing that. But the love of Christ tells you, come to me, all you who are weak and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. And I want you to trust in me. And then as you as you accept him as your savior, as he comes, as he makes his his dwelling, as he makes his abode in you, see, Christ begins to live in you. See, it's Christ in you. The hope of glory as he becomes in you, and then he cleans you up from the inside out. I don't know how many people I see sometimes. Well, if I could get clean enough, I'd go to church. You're never gonna get clean enough to go to church, but go to go to church, get born again, give your life to Christ, get hooked up, let him clean you up from the inside out. Because you see, I can sit here and I can look at your life and I can I can tell you things that in my flesh I think you need to do. Like I 100% for sure know you need to not commit adultery, you need to not lie, you need to not steal. He gave us 10 of the commandments that we shouldn't do. We know that you shouldn't have other gods before him, but I can't tell you what needs to be done in your life first. I I can't tell you what he's working on in you. For one, it might need to quit murdering, and the other one, they might need to quit stealing. I don't know. You know, I don't know why you're murdering, I don't know why you're stealing, but but did you know you can even on adultery, you can have an adulterous relationship here on this earth, or you can have an adulterous relationship with Christ. See, when you're married to Christ, when you accept him, it's like a marriage. It's like you're entering into a covenant with him. And when you enter into this covenant with him, then when you start doing other things, you start actually cheating on God, cheating on Christ, like you're living this life, but then you have an adulterous affair, but it's in a spiritual adulterous affair. Ouch. I never thought about committing spiritual adultery, but it's no different. You can commit spiritual adultery. We talked about some of that last week a little bit. Holy Spirit, holy spirit. I don't want to get ahead of God and I don't want to get behind him. Anyone ever like that? Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. Draw near to God, and he'll draw near to you. But it's like you have to submit to God. It's not like, okay, Dan, you need to submit to God. What's going on there with your finger? Boo-boo. We command you to be healed right now in Jesus' name. Thank you, Lord, for the healing. Submit to God, resist the devil, he will flee. But but you have to be the one that submits to God. I can't make you submit to God. Man, I just want to be closer to God. Well, submit to him. Man, the devil's attacking me. Resist him. How do you resist him? You submit to God, submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. It is written. You stand on that. Draw near to God, and he'll draw near to you. Well, how do I draw near to God? Submit to him, resist him, and quit doing the stuff that isn't lined up with him. There's a whole lot of stuff I used to do that I don't do no more. There's a whole lot of stuff I don't watch that I used to watch. There's a whole lot of stuff that I don't listen to that I used to listen to that I don't listen to. Because it affects me. It affects me. I could be off the deep end in just a few minutes or a few hours if I chose to go back to the way I used to. See, our adversary, the devil, goes around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Right? We talked about that last week. I just can't stop here. I'm sorry. I shouldn't apologize, should I? Thank you, Holy Spirit. I even got signs left from last week. You know what I think about this? Come here, Andrew. See, Andrew, he used to be a dope dealer. Now he's a hope dealer. Right. Yeah. Jolene? Jolene had Apha Gal syndrome. What's that mean?

SPEAKER_11 16:46

Um, I couldn't eat beef, pork, cheese, anything like had mammal product in it.

SPEAKER_08 16:52

Right. So what have you been eating the last two weeks?

SPEAKER_11 16:55

A lot of dairy and a lot of cheese pizza.

SPEAKER_08 16:59

How come?

SPEAKER_11 17:00

Because I am healed.

SPEAKER_08 17:02

Amen. Amen. She was, now she's not. I had Alpha Gail syndrome, but now I'm not. Praise the Lord. Martina was run by fear.

SPEAKER_12 17:24

Oh, but now I wasn't given a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and of sound mind.

SPEAKER_08 17:30

Amen. Amen. Hang on here, we're getting there. Oh wow, we'll get the pastor up here. Pastor Sarah. I was controlled by a religious spirit.

SPEAKER_02 17:46

Yep. But now I'm sozoed. Which I got the eternal, I got the eternal thing. Eternal. The eternal covenant. He doesn't change. You're healed, delivered, set free, made whole. You can walk back to this if you choose, but if you will walk in him and walk by faith, you will not.

SPEAKER_08 18:05

Amen. Amen. There's one. I got all kinds of them in here, but I'm looking for one in particular, Tyler. Right here. I was once led by lust. How much was you led by lust? Like how I don't know, you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_06 18:37

Everything. Marriage.

SPEAKER_08 18:45

How easy is it to be led by lust?

SPEAKER_06 18:49

But led by the Spirit of God because I am a son of God.

SPEAKER_08 18:56

Amen. Amen. Our adversary the devil goes around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Our adversary, the devil. Like he's looking for someone to devour. Right. I wish I'd have brought the pitchfork. Last week I said, you know, the devil don't have a pitchfork and horns, right? You know that, right? But he but he goes around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. So he goes for someone that that's weak. And when I'm talking about that, I'm talking about he's going after Christians. He's already devoured those that aren't born again. And your life is a wreck. But then after after you become a child of God, he goes around lowering lions seeking whom he may devour. We put that up in 1 Corinthians or 1 Peter 5. It says, resist him steadfast in the faith, right? Last week we talked about going around and how the devil, you know, you know, put stuff in in people's ears. You know how Andrew used to sell dope. And it seems weird, but it seems weird in church talking about people that used to sell dope. But you know what? We're not perfect. We're not perfect. But he surrendered his life to Christ. Now he's conformed into the image of Christ. He's no longer a dope dealer, he's a hope dealer. But but like I said, the adversary of the devil goes along like a loring lion, seeking whom he may devour. And I'd mention, you know, hey, you know, Andrew, you know, things aren't going so well for you. You know, you could use a little extra cash, but you know, now, you know, we'll just sell enough just to just to get a little money back. And he tried, that's how sneaky he is. He tries to get back in your life, he tries to get you back into sin. Well, no, I mean you're lonely tonight. It's all right just to look a little bit at the porn. Man, it's quiet. It's quiet in here, isn't it? One place that I didn't get at last week was we mentioned how the devil uses people. You know, we always think the devil has the pitchfork and the and the ears and the just the devil's going around. But no, the devil looks for someone he can devour. And he looks at some way to devour you, and he may not be able to do that through just anybody, but if he can devour someone to get to you, you follow me? Might be that person at work. If he can devour that person at work, that'll get to you. Everything is to keep you from growing in the Lord. Okay? So if an outsider comes in and says something to you, you know, you know it like I talk about the church. This church can't. Cannot be broken down from the inside. From the outside. Sorry. Thank you. This church cannot be broken down from the outside. You know, if you go to Kansas City and they say, well, you go to that gathering tabernacle church, that's crazy down there. You're like, what are you talking about? You haven't even been there. Right? But if it plants a seed of doubt in you. Okay? If it plants a seed, this is the same way for a church, this is the same way for your marriage, any relationship you have. It can only be broken down from the inside. But our adversary, the devil, goes around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour to get in and plant that seed of doubt in there. But you know we have power in Christ. Do you know we have the power to take thoughts captive that exalt ourselves against Christ and make him obedient? No, no, I'm not gonna think like that. No, I have the same lust deal that Tyler talks about. Like, no. No, Lord, I'm in love with you and you alone, and I have a precious wife, and I'm in love with her and her alone. So lustful thoughts get out of my head in the name of Jesus, and pure thoughts come in, holy thoughts come in. Whether it's lust, whether it's hate, whether it's anger. So, so as we were doing this last week, let me get Maddie. You ready? Maddie getting close. Um Maddie had seen that sign, and she's like, Well, what what would my sign say? I thought, that's powerful. That'll preach. Like I used to be this, but now I'm this, and she was thinking, what what would what would my sign say? So I ask you that as you guys can sit down. I ask you that as as Maddie comes up here. We put the pulpit over here. Uh as she comes up and begins to share and and yes, don't worry, we'll have announcements and all that stuff. Right? If we don't do it in order, that's is that wrong? Hallelujah. You're gonna do great. Father, we praise you. Father, we thank you, Lord, for Maddie. Lord, right now, Lord, as she is an instrument for you, Lord, a chosen vessel for you, Lord. As she speaks about uh exactly what you tell her to about freedom in you, Lord. Lord, we praise her that she has clean uh clean thoughts, clean mind. She's got she's not been given a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. And Father, we praise you for that, Lord. Lord, as she preaches your kingdom in Jesus' name. Amen.

SPEAKER_10 25:08

I don't like this one bit, but we're gonna do it. Um I even kept telling myself, I'm like, I know you need to say something, and I was like, I'm not gonna text Sarah. She'll ask me to talk if I need to talk. So then I text her, and then I was like, okay, well, maybe Dan has too good of a message. I don't need to talk. And then Dan said, absolutely you can talk. And I said, Oh, great, okay, here we go. Um so uh give a tiny bit of a backstory because I got set free last week, as some of you saw. Um it all stemmed from things that happened when I was very, very young, and I had no idea, because I thought I was a pretty good person. Some of you even said I'm pretty good person. Um but I grew up in church, my family, wonderful, amazing family. Uh many siblings. I I love my family so much, all of them, they're wonderful. Um, but grew up in church, uh, always tried to do the right thing, pretty good person overall, in my opinion, try not to sound boastful or anything, but um growing up, um, I always had a boyfriend, if you may say so, from a very young age. Um at the young age of 11, uh, this 10, 11, this boy came into my life, and he did not have the good church grown-up life that I was very blessed to have. Um in that relationship, I got exposed to some very bad things, um, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, some very, very bad stuff. Um once he went out of my life because he ended up being taken away. Um thank you. I struggled with things, um, depression, anxiety, severe anger issues. Um those got better. Uh but the depression grew worse and worse. Um at one moment I attempted to take my own life, and that was at the age of 12. Um after that, uh when I got a little bit older, um mid-teens, maybe I found a new church, and I said, Oh, my life's great, I'm doing good, I'm making right choices, I don't feel that anger anymore. I just thought I was doing good. Um I would still occasionally get sad, have a few bad thoughts, say, oh you're stupid, oh you're ugly, oh I don't feel good today, stuff like that, just speaking death upon myself all the time. Um, my amazing husband will tell me all the time if I used to say I was dumb, he would say, No, you're not. You are the smartest woman I have ever met. Um I did not like that at times, but he spoke truth over me, which I adore him for. Um I started coming to the Gathering Tabernacle um when they were just a little tent revival thing. Um, and they introduced me into spiritual warfare. Um I kind of always knew about it, kind of always believed in it, um, but it is very, very real, let me tell you. Um let's see here. So uh I've been coming here ever since they were a little church that's been three year three, four, five, four years now, four years now. Um and for some reason it just now opened my eyes that demons are very real, spiritual warfare is very real just last week. Um so last week uh Dan mentioned a little bit about the signs and stuff. And yes, I began to think, what would my signs say? And on I call it the bad side, my sign said I hate myself. And I did not realize I had a genuine passion of pure hate for myself. Um and I did not realize that. I don't like the word hate. I feel like it's very powerful, I feel like that's a very strong word, but I meant it. Um and even now it's so silly to look back, I just said hateful things about myself all the time. I would get sad for no reason, cry for no reason, just sadness and hate towards myself. Once I began to think, what would my sign say on the other side? Like, how am I set free? How can I be made whole? Um my sign kept ripping in my mind. And it said in my mind, you're not good enough to have that redemption, you will hate yourself forever. Um, so I was sitting in my seat with my husband, I'm just bawling. I keep looking at Sarah and I'm like, oh, she's gonna come get me soon, I'll be okay. She'll come pray for me. And then in my mind, um, the Lord said, You need to take a step, you have to step towards me. I told him no. Um, so about 20, 30 minutes go by, they're still doing the whole sign thing, and I'm like, this ain't going away. I'm just almost sobbing in my seat. Uh my husband looked over and was like, Are you okay? And I was like, I'm fine, I'm fine. Um, so I did what had to be done. I took a step in the middle of church service, which I was not a fan of. I had to come to the very front in front of everybody, and I told San, Sarah, I San, Dan and Sarah, um, I need help is what I said. I couldn't say anything else, I couldn't think anything else, I just said I need help. And then the sovereign got worse. Um and then uh uh we went over to the side of the stage over here, and demons are very real, and I had no idea until I got witnessed it within myself. Um and we prayed for a long time, and I am now made a brand new creation. I no longer have sad thoughts. Even this morning I was born like a baby, and I was just saying, thank you, God, like you love me too. It's okay to be loved, it's okay to be happy, it's okay to go overwhelmed with joyful thoughts. And um some people think, oh, you just get sad occasionally. That's what I told myself. Oh, you just get sad occasionally. That's a normal thing. You're a woman, is what I told myself sometimes. You have strong emotions. It's okay to cry, it's okay to be sad. It's not okay. You don't have to be sad occasionally, you don't have to have anxiety, you don't have to be run down by depression or anger or hate towards yourself. Um, there were a few verses that kind of spoke out to me. I just want to read off real quickly, and then we'll be wrapping up here soon. Let me pull it up. The first one is Psalms 94, 18 through 19. It says, When I said, My foot is slipping, your unfailing love, unfailing love. Uh Lord, support me. My anxiety was great within me. Your consolation brought me joy. Just because you had anxiety or have it right now, you can get rid of it today. You can have great joy and great love within yourself because of the Lord. The next one is let's see here. 1 Peter 5, 7. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. I want to read that last part again. He cares for you. He cares for you, he cares for me. You don't have to have anxiety or sadness or hate. Our last one is John 14, 27. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. Peace. You can have peace. It's okay to have peace. I do not give you as the world gives you. I told myself all the time. It's okay. It's normal in the world. I'm a nurse too, so I compare it medically all the time. It's a normal, natural thing to be sad occasionally. You have hormones, all these things. It's not okay. You don't have to be that way. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Your hearts do not have to be troubled. You don't have to have anxiety, you don't have to have hate towards yourself, depression, fear, all of those things. And it's so silly looking at it now, because I read the word, I'm like, oh, that makes so much sense. But at that time, I was like, oh yeah, that makes sense. But like for other people who struggle worse than I do, you know, it's not for me. Um, but it is, it's for me, it's for you, it's for everyone. So that's that's about it.

SPEAKER_04 33:32

Good job.

SPEAKER_08 33:34

Hallelujah. You know, last week as that was taking place, um manifesting. There's been a couple different times and we're like, oh no, we're in the thick of it now. Either we're gonna have to go on or we're gonna have to turn around and put our head between our legs and run like a dog, you know, and and uh as I I was still up here, but anyway, as as Maddie was manifesting is what it was. You know, there was a voice coming out of her that was not her. If you're hearing and and don't get freaked out by that. You know, I mentioned last week, it it's it's a beautiful thing. Did you just see a beautiful thing by someone up there and give a beautiful testimony of being set free? But we sat here and we and we try to keep people in bot. Oh no, just just wait, just keep that inside you. It'll be alright, it'll it'll get pushed away. But to see someone get set free, because who the son sets free is free indeed. And we put up Mark 16, 15. Thank you, Lord. Mark 16, starting in 15. There you go, thank you. Um he said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe. In my name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues, they will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. Then after the Lord has spoken, then he sat down. You know, Christ is set down right now at the right hand of the Father, and it's up to us to stand up and do what he's called us to do. And then in Luke, um, I'll give you a little warning on this one, right? Luke 10, 18 through 20. You know what when I used to read that, you know, like these signs will follow those who believe. And I didn't have no trouble with the casting out demons and the speaking new tongues and the laying hands on the sick, but the whole taking up serpent thing, the whole taking up serpent thing, I thought, I'm not into serpents, I'm not scared of snakes, but I don't just go out and play with them for the fun of it. And uh I thought, now Lord, how do I explain this? You know, if if uh um you know, if I'm supposed to believe the Bible, I need to believe every bit of it. I just can't take part of a verse out. And he said, you know, you back the word up with the word. That's what he told me, you back the word up with the word. And you see other places in scripture where where demons were cast out. You see other places in scripture where they were speaking in other tongues, you see other places in scripture where they was laying hands on the sick and they will recover. And then I'm like, Well, what about this whole serpent thing? I mean, I don't see it where they're actually just taking up serpents. And then he took me to Luke here and he said to them, and he said to them, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions over all the power of the enemy. So the the serpent the the serpents and the scorpions are are the enemy. You know, when it was in the garden, Satan took on the form of a serpent, and the serpent is defeated. We have authority over the serpent now, and here Jesus is telling him, I give you power over all the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Verse 20. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice that your names are written in heaven. You know, it it's something to see someone healed and set free, but but that's not the main thing. The main thing is that her name is written in the book of heaven. The main thing is that your name is written in the book of heaven. We're not focusing on casting out demons and all that stuff, we're focusing on him. We're focused about people being born again, being healed, being set free and being delivered in the name of Jesus Christ, and and the serpents coming out and other stuff is a bonus. You know, last week I said, don't be going home getting on Facebook and be like, you know what happened last week? Man, someone manifested, you know what happened last week, man. This gal got delivered, she got healed, she got set free, she'd been struggling for years. She testified of it to the struggle that she's been having, and I'm telling you, it's no different for you today. It's no different for you today. And this is a totally whacked out service, but nothing wrong with that, is there? So we're gonna give you a moment to contemplate on what's been going on, and then we're gonna do some Father's Day stuff, and then we're gonna hop right back in it. Let's do it, right? Let's just put our rubber boots on, hop back in it, and I mean get healed, set free, and delivered today. So, all right. Do do do we I mean this is decently in an order. It's not like it's all like crazy like that, but but but do we have to sing three songs and then stop and then take an offering and then do this, and then do we have to do that? Or can we just flow? Let's just do it. Amen. All right.

SPEAKER_02 38:55

Okay, so happy Father's Day, as I said earlier. Um and always pray about what the Lord has for you because I think you should know he always has fathers on his mind. Because what an honor to lead as a man. What an honor to lead your family in a way that they see Jesus. And I thought, you know, Jesus said several times, if you see me, you've seen the father. So sometimes we may not have a good earthly father, or some of us may have the greatest earthly father, but if we'll look to the father in heaven and we set him and Jesus as the example for how we'll raise our family, then they will remain free. So I last year I got you guys flashlights, and I'm sure you still have them, but it was to let you know that you're a light, a light into this world, a light into your family, a light in the darkness, that if you keep your light with Jesus, it'll never go out. But the Lord has something greater for you this year. So I got you these compasses, and they said, Lord, lead the way. So it's a reminder if you let he is the way, the truth, and the life, and if you let him lead the way, you'll never fail. You may walk through the valley, but he never leaves you. You may be on top of the mountain, but he's right with you. So I looked it up, they gave a little scripture of Psalms 25:5 in the King James, which is okay. I'll read that. Lead me in thy truth. And I thought, Holy Spirit, the God of my salvation, on thee I do wait all the day. And I thought, Holy Spirit says, look in the passion. And I like that. Escort me along the way, take me by the hand and teach me. For you are the God of my increasing salvation. Salvation increases if you don't know. You get saved, but new revelation came, comes. Cameron told me, you know, this week that he was when Maddie was getting delivered. See if I say this right, Cameron. If I don't, you let me know. He had enough belief for salvation, but he wasn't sure about deliverance. When we don't know, faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. There's nothing wrong with not knowing. There's something wrong with not wanting to know. That's the God we serve. Escort me along the way, take me by the hand and teach me. For you are the God of my increasing salvation. I have wrapped my heart into yours. Have you wrapped your heart into his? Have you allowed him to wrap his heart into yours? Oh, he's a good God, and he's faithful, and he doesn't change. His word is so true, and it becomes alive every time you put it in you. Maddie told me she didn't feel joy like she thought she should feel. And I thought, Holy Spirit says, the joy comes from my word. It's not about a feeling. Feelings lie, feelings come and go. Feelings will manipulate you to think you got something. But when you get the revelation in the spirit, it's solid, firm foundation. It doesn't change, it cannot be stolen from you unless you give it away. So, fathers, Grady and Martine are gonna hand these out. And I want you to think about as I held this in my hand, sometimes we give out we give out the little Jesus all the time, which here's one right now. He's watching you. But to me, he's not a little Jesus, he's just a reminder that Jesus loves you. That's what I tell people when I give them out. Jesus loves you. So as you hold this, I'm reminding you that Jesus leads your way. And he's a good God and he's never leaving you. So as you lead, Father, I thank you for each and every one of these men. I pray abundance of your blessings because there's no lack in you. You are the God of the impossible, you are the God of creation, you are the God that when we ask, you give wisdom. And I'm praying that each man in here asks for wisdom. Lord, as you bless them with a hunger and a thirst to be filled with your righteousness. Lord, that they want to be transformed into the image of Christ, that they want to lead their family in a way that it only brings glory and honor to your holy name, Lord. I thank you for each one of them, Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

SPEAKER_08 43:47

You know, we've talked about the difference in in tithes and offerings. Tithes go to your local church. The tithe is is 10% of what you make. And you know, we can set a deal to where, well, we only give 10% and nothing else. And that's Shortness, you know. So when we sow, we sow into the into the kingdom of heaven. You know, uh used to, I was taught, you know, never was taught anything about tithing, never was taught anything about giving. I just knew that that I needed to to give, and then the Lord would bless me if I give. But but when we do so, we are sowing into the kingdom of God. You know, to know that when you, you know, if you had a retirement fund, and do you put it in something that's extra risky or or something that you for sure lose your money on? No, you put in something solid that will grow. And know when you're giving your money to God that you're putting it in good ground and good ground in Luke uh 6 38. It says, Give generously, and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top. Your measurement of generosity becomes a measurement of your return. And you know, as we talked about about seed, and and I'm so excited, like the gardens are are starting to produce. You know, I've seen some some zucchini, I've seen some uh tomatoes, not in my garden, but anyway, other other people's garden. I've seen tomatoes and stuff, and you know, you should bring them to your pasture as like an offering, as an offering, you know, as a tithe. But but but uh I see them starting to go. Well, well, praise the Lord that someone took the initiative to to plant that seed, to work up that ground, to to fertilize it, to get it to grow, and then then it produces in abundance. And that's what you do. But if you want to receive, you have to give. We're not the most giving people. The most Christians should be the most happiest people, the most prosperous people, the most giving people in there. So so know that that as you're giving, that you're sowing into the kingdom of God, and then today, I mean, there's some visitors here today, praise the Lord. Uh thank you. But your tithe goes to your local church. If you don't have a local church, uh I think you should come here. So amen. We'd love to have you. So, but today you have a chance to sow an offering. Everywhere Pastor Sarah and I go that has anything to do, we sow offering. You know what? I'm gonna get some some seed into that ground over there, you know, because seed produces. You know, we've sowed into many different things. You know, it may not be churches. We've sowed into an airplane, so I expect one day I'll have an airplane, right? So we sow into, you can sew into helping people with cars, people with food. I mean, mean all different things as far as your as your offering that don't take place here in the church, but you but your tithes and some extra can go here to the church, your tithes and offerings, and you're blessed by by what you give. Give it will be given to you, pressed down, shaken together, good measure, running over. See, that's the God we serve. We serve a running over God that wants to more, he already has more than met your needs, but you just receive what he's done and it comes upon you. So, praise the Lord. All right, let's hold our giving up. Father, we praise you. Father, we thank you, Lord. Lord, that we're here, Lord, and we have a chance to give. We have a chance to to sow into the kingdom of God. We have a chance, Lord, to to give uh to you by faith, Lord. Lord, and and and you bless us, Lord, and we're and we're so thankful, Lord, that you are a exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or thank God according to the power that works in us, Lord. So right now, Lord, we trust you, Lord, with our finances. In Jesus' name, amen. Cameron, why don't you come up here for a minute? Nothing like being put on the spot. You know, I was thinking about the the freedom that they had, and then a couple weeks ago uh Cameron had mentioned about, you know, sometimes I think, man, I just say this stuff over and over and over, and it never goes anywhere. You know, but anyway, thank you for the no amens. But but you know, I I mentioned uh quite a bit that only in the kingdom of God does 90% of your money go further than a hundred. You know, when you sow the the ten percent to God, which is your tithe, and the offerings are above that, when you sow that to God, he blesses you. And I want Cameron to share uh what he's received on that. Is that good?

SPEAKER_01 48:27

Hello. Um but yeah, I was talking to Sarah in the back of the church uh was that last week I think, and uh just talking talking about tithes and stuff and um just how good it's been, and how what he said, only in the kingdom of God is nine to go further than a hundred. And uh probably about a year ago, and I wasn't much of a tither. I knew about it and talked about it and I was Chris McDonald would say I was like white knuckled when I'd give and uh and uh maybe give like, you know, ten, twenty at a time, and even then I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. Like this is kinda this kind of stinks. But um and then uh me and Maddie kinda sat down and really did our budget and really like got down to it and we're like, okay, ten percent, that's that's not ours. You know, none of it's ours, but we get to borrow the rest. And uh, you know, it was good ground, and so we're gonna be good stewards of the rest, but we're gonna take that ten percent and sew it in and and uh yeah, they end up talking, he'd be preaching, you know, like talking about uh this is good ground and uh you say you trust him, then trust him with your finances, and every time I'll be like looking away, kind of like he's not talking to me, but he's talking to me. And uh and so finally it was like, you know what, if we're if we're gonna trust him, you know, we're gonna trust him with it all, not just this here, like I'm comfortable with trusting him here, but not not so much with my finances. That's uh that's mine, you know. And so uh yeah, it's been really good. And um we start selling in like ten ten percent of our tithes just given that setback, like as soon as we get it every week. I'm weird, I'm a flooring installer, so I get paid in cash every week, so I like to do the math, and that that goes under my Bible and that gets put in every Sunday. And um and yeah, it's it's been really good. And Maddie recently got a got a raise at the hospital, so that's awesome. That's helped out, and then like uh where we usually work is uh out of Joplin, it's a place called Derailed Commodity that keeps us busy most of the time. But for the last four or five months they have not been busy like at all. And uh I didn't realize how blessed we were until my cousin said one day, he's like, you know, the good Lord's been real good to us. We have work and people calling us and we've been busy from then on. And uh I mean we've had five day work weeks every every week for months, and it's it's been really good.

SPEAKER_08 50:46

Thank you. So no when I say I don't want your money, but I want you to be blessed. I want every one of you to be blessed. We are a canao ministry training center on there, and and some of you are like, what the world is Canao Ministry Training Center? So Lori's gonna come up here and I was joking, but it worked, didn't it? Oh, did you? Amen. Tell us all about it, Lori.

SPEAKER_00 51:16

First of all, I want to say thank you for everyone that participated in helping clean up our yard. It was a real blessing to see the church come together, not only clean our house, our place, but Mary's and others in the community and headed up by our pastor. And we just really appreciate his willing to just serve the community and serve us. And I just want to praise God for that. But uh has been a real blessing. Um it uh it's taught me more about Jesus than I could even begin to tell you. Um it's taught me intimacy because the time that you you have to put in to do each work each week, you know, you study the Bible, you study what their lessons are, and um one of the biggest blessings last year was learning the ordinance and how to use it because it taught me how to study and and get more intimate the intimacy of his word, and it was just a real blessing. And and then that was uh first year was the New Testament, the second year was um the Old Testament and the Covenant and just there's so much of the tabernacle and the shadows and types and shadows and everything. And I praise God because now I can say I've read the whole Bible because of Kaneo. And that's a real blessing. And and next year I get to learn about deliverance and and more intimacy of of how the church operates. And it's just it's a blessing. And I never thought that at my age, I'm 60 years old, that I could learn and grow, and and um it's just so good. And um I just welcome you guys to test it out. I mean, you you can take it, and if it doesn't work for you, what have you lost? You know, so I just praise God and I just encourage you to try it out.

SPEAKER_08 53:19

Amen. It's it's a training center through the uh Christ Fellowship Church, the North Georgia Revival in Dawsonville, Georgia, and Pastor Karen uh is the teacher, and there is a cost to it. And before, you know, when I used to have like this religious judgmental critical spirit that judged everything, well, you can't charge for the gospel, the gospel's free. Well, what she's teaching is free, but to get it to you does cost something. It costs stuff TV cameras, it costs stuff to put all this together, so there is a cost to it. But I'll tell you one thing that I've what I've personally saw is if your cash is in it, you're you're devoted to doing it. You know, if you got some skin in the game on doing it, you know, I could we could sit here and say, you know, every Tuesday night, it's on uh year one and three is on Tuesday night, two and four is on Thursday night. Uh, you can actually do it on demand at home, you can do it online at home, you can do it on demand at your own pace. It's it's different things, but but I promise you to know to know your blood covenant, to know your um um, to know the tabernacle, to know the authority of Christ. There's so much stuff that guys, if the only learning and only teaching you're getting is here on Sunday mornings for an hour or an hour and a half, you're not gonna grow in the kingdom of God an hour and a half in here. So I encourage you, get in, find somewhere, if it's not Kaneo, find somewhere to get in and learn and be taught and be open. It's amazing how much time if we sit back and think about how much time do we really waste? How much time do we watch shows on TV of a night that we shouldn't watch? And even if we should watch them, some of them you're not learning nothing from. But to actually commit yourself to it, you know, it's it's sweet to see the the testimonies of families doing it together, to see the testimonies of husband and wife doing it together, to see that. But but I want you to know that's a an opportunity for you. I think there's over six, there's sixty campuses now. Some of them could help me out there, 60 different campuses spread out. But but anyway, amen. Pastor Sarah had mentioned it there, or Lori had mentioned it there earlier about you know the cleanup there in town, and and thank you all that that uh come and helped out and supported that, you know, to see the reaction, you know, of people. I mean, obviously um uh Phil and Lori and Mary were very, very thankful, but but you know, to see the ones that you know just show up and say, hey, you know, you need some help, you know, cleaning up your yard and different things. And like, well, you know what are you gonna charge? You know, we're not gonna charge nothing, you know. We're here to we're just here to to help you clean up your yard and stuff, and just to see the see the love and the thankfulness of that. So this is definitely not traditional church today, so but uh there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that. So so what what has the Lord spoken to you today? What what what do you need to respond on on to him? You know, it it requires a a response. You know, it took it took initiative, it takes initiative to start giving, it takes initiative to set forward, step forth and say, you know what, I I'm not gonna live in this this bondage any longer. You know, it takes initiative for you to to step out and say, you know what, I'm not gonna live without him any longer. You know what, I'm gonna surrender my life to him. You know, I'm gonna trust in him. You know, salvation's not a like a one-night stand. Salvation's not, you know, just walking an aisle and praying a prayer and then going out and and living for the devil. You know, salvation is is a change God makes in your heart that causes you to love him more than anyone or anything, you know. Um through most of my life I was presented uh and by my own fault. You know, we actually got this book that we can read, and it's full of the promises of God, and all of his promises are yes and in him, amen. But for the most part, people just take what someone says, and then that's what they believe about God, that's what they believe about the Bible. And I was presented, I was presented a God that, and He is a God that does that, that you know, you just I mean He He don't want you to live in sin any longer. He wants you to surrender your life to Him. And I'd done that September 16th, 2011, and my life made a complete change that day. 180 degree change. Went home, threw the pornography in the dumpster, cleaned house out. I said now I would recommend burning it, that way no one else can get their hands on it, but but uh but now that just has to be your phone you have to get rid of, right? Yeah. And um but then I began to you know have thoughts. I begin to have you know different struggles. I never did go back into uh pornography and stuff, but I had I had thoughts and different things and and you know I see God is a the Lord is a three-part person. Just like we're a three-part being. See, God is spirit. There's God, Son, Holy Spirit, three-part being. See, we're a spirit that has a soul that lives in a body. Our spirit relates to God. Our flesh obviously relates to Jesus because he walked on the earth, and the Holy Spirit on the mind, will, and emotions. I wasn't taught, it just wasn't talked about. Not that it was, you know, tongues as of the devil was said, but but you know, as far as healing and deliverance, it just something that wasn't that just wasn't talked about. And by my own fault, I should have got in and read it and seen what the book said before I was 40 some years old. But it just it just warms my heart to see the families here together. It warms my heart to see these little these little kids. You know. I think Liam's like six now. Is that right? Liam's six. You know, I think about Liam and some of those. You know, Liam's been here since he was two years old. This is all Lauren has ever known. Same way with Tyler Martinez kids. Some of them, you know, they've well they was in Kansas City for a while, but anyway, I mean they've been taught that God does love you. And God is love. Now, true love offers you a way out of it. True love don't condemn you. See, a lot of it is condemnation. Get down here and wake Rick up. What are you doing? Get your act together, get your head out of your. But has anyone ever told that growing up? Get your head out of your. We won't even go there. But right. And all the correction that was offered, my mom can fling a swife fly swatter like no other. She's almost 80 now. I just still don't want her swinging it at me. You know, it's more or less like Gary Daniel Goose Tree, I'm gonna blister you till you can't sit down. Like it was a daily, you know, when you they use the three names, is that the way it works in your house? When you use the three names, you know that that it that it's serious. Well, it was a common I haven't always been an angel, but it was a common thing. But never once was I like, hey son, do you know that God loves you so much, and he wants to help take care of that anger that's going on in you. He wants to help take care of that hurt that's going on in you. He wants to take care of that abuse that's going on in you. As far as sheltered, man, I was raised sheltered. Me and me and Sarah were raised sheltered. But then when I begin to see that, you know, people being abused as little, as infants, as little children, like, you know, and then like uh uh Lana coming next week. I was reading one deal about how they rescued a gal and a little girl, and they were coming to get her, and he's like, Man, what would it take to rescue her, you know? And like, man, it's already done. Like, how much money, how much money would it take to rescue her? And and right now, like if you had it in your mind, you're thinking, how much money would it take to rescue this little girl? You know, if I was thinking, you'd think, you know, I don't know, 10,000, 20,000, 5,000, $24. But to know that God loves you, to know that that God loved you so much that He He took on flesh in the form of Jesus and dwelt among us and lived this sinless life in the flesh. God took on flesh in the form of Jesus, lived here on earth, just as we're living here on earth, to show us that there is a way to beat sin. They didn't say that we wouldn't ever sin. I think a lot of times people get that. Well, I must be lost, I sinned. No, no, that don't mean you're lost. But when you do sin, he offers you a way out of it. If you can, if we confess our sin, he's faithful and just forgive us our sin and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. He provides a way out of it. Your adversary, the devil, goes around like a luring lion. I'm not gonna sit here, you know, I'm not gonna sit here and say, oh, once you're a Christian, I mean just the devil's gonna leave you alone, it's just gonna be rosy. But you have the power, you have the authority in you. You have to learn your covenants, you have to learn your authority, you have to learn who you are in Christ. See, see, when you accept Christ as your Savior, you're a new creation in Christ. The old things are gone. They're just not words on a page, it's life. He said, and then the word became flesh, and the word has to become your flesh, and you let that become who you are. Lord, may your thoughts be my thoughts, may my thoughts be your thoughts. So I'm gonna ask you today as we stand. I want to ask you today, do you need to respond to what the Lord's telling you today? He says, Come to me all who are weak and heavy laden, I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for my yoke is easy, my burden is light. Father, we praise you. Father, we thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, for this wonderful day, for this real intimate, personal day, Lord. The testimonies that have been given, Lord. Lord, we thank you, Lord, for our fathers. Lord, because none of us would be here without a father. And Lord, we thank you, Lord, that you are God, that you are the heavenly father, Lord. Lord, and you have good intentions for us. You're not sitting up there waiting to zap us. You're sitting up there, say, say, come to me. I will give you rest. Thank you, Lord. You are loved. He really does love you. He really does want to see you free. He really does want to see you born again. He really does want to see you delivered. He really does want to see you see you made whole in him. Thank you, Lord. We'll be around here for ever how long we need to be, but Father, we praise you. Father, we honor you. Father, we worship you. Lord, we're here for you and you alone, Lord. Lord, we speak a spirit of wisdom, revelation, and the knowledge of you, Lord. That the eyes of our understanding be enlightened, Lord, just to know the hope of our calling, Lord. We speak life into each and everyone here, Lord. We speak peace into each and everyone in here, Lord. Lord, as we learn to rest in you, Lord. As we're overcomers in you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
